I had to take a screen shot of this. Might make it my phone background also lol. ...


hmmmm. Anyone think an indoor worm farm is doable? say during winter months when outdoor worm farming isn't an option.

I've got my 10 gallon rubbermaid farm in the kitchen and my wife has no complaints. No smell, just a tub on top of the pantry.

I have my compost tumbler and my worm bin inside my basement. Why would it be a problem? It doesn't stink and really doesn't attract other bugs . I have an electric wood chipper downstairs too so no plant materials really leave my basement besides the ones that are being smoked.

That's awesome in more than one way!

My compost bin finally exploded on me... . I recycled a old chicken coup to make mine and the other day while I was turning the soil the sides blew out.. . I had it for 2 years though so it served me well.

Hi everyone i have a question about ROLS,
If i dont have bone meal and such products in my country, can i use chicken bones and meat waste crushed up and mixed into my ROLS soil as added minerals?
if so how much time will it turn into a finished product for my plants u think?

thnx

 

[iforgotmymeds]

I would not recommend putting meat in your soil the closest to meat I would have to say is fish.

I built a quick worm farm from my 5 gallon hempy buckets! I put an old #7 smart pot upside down over the top bucket as a lid. I can't wait to see what goodness comes out the bottom! I could make 20 of these! Fast and easy and it has a handle. I could stack them 5 or 6 tall!

It was work work work this weekend! I barely had time to get pictures of this:




here is a concept of the grow house in the north garden:





Cheers,

Mo it's looking good are you using cedar? It's gonna look Badass when done

 

[Mohican]

Thanks! It is Redwood.

 

[snowboarder396]

That's what I thought, but then I was thinking cedar because it's cheaper.. definitely gonna look Badass, I have some curly redwood, flame maple, and curly cherry to use for projects . This is for the greenhouse right?

 

[Mohican]

One is a screened-in garden to protect from birds and animals. The concept picture is for the greenhouse grow room.

 

[snowboarder396]

So the one your building now is just screened in area for protection? And for the greenhouse do you plan on having actuated cieling panels for ventilation and air?

 

[Mohican]

They will be at the back so the slant of the roof will direct the heat out of the room. There will be fans also.

Drew this rough concept just to show the location and layout.

 

[snowboarder396]

Mo, do you plan on using glass, plexi/acrylic, or heavy plastic sheeting? And I'm assuming you'll use redwood for that as well to match.

Are you just getting your redwood from homedepot or special source. I know it's not as cheap. But it looks great

 

[Mohican]

I got 50 sheets of assorted colors of plexi from a guy on Craig's list a while back. I will probably use some of that. Not sure about the structure material. Probably Redwood.

I get the wood at a lumber yard. It is coming together nicely

 

[iforgotmymeds]

you could try thick clear plastic it comes in large rolls at Home Depot 6mm I think. Or corrugated plastic sheets, are you going to put a wall up to mount fans to?
